Even though he could barely lift his head due to the overwhelming power of the sect leader's command and Xia Han, Chu Yuan still tried hard to stand upright, showing no fear, and serenely faced his downfall.
Would begging for mercy be of any use?
It would only add to the humiliation.
Xia Han had already spared him once, she wouldn't do so a second time.
Xia Han's temperament was indifferent, but she was by no means soft-hearted, hadn't she cleanly and efficiently executed Liu Xin?
Similarly, if Yu Beifeng invaded the Ming Guang Xian Sect, he would not spare Xia Han either.
Chu Yuan now knew that he had failed; success crowned the king while defeat branded the felon, and he must bear the consequences, to be at the mercy of the victor.
"Killing you would be too easy; I won't waste your formidable strength. Actually, I already gave you a chance. If you wanted to defect to the Feathered Divine Dynasty, I wouldn't have stopped you, but collusion and betrayal I cannot tolerate."
